Fahrenheit to Kelvin | Convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin

Converting Temperatures: Fahrenheit to Kelvin

When working with temperatures in science, you may need to convert between different temperature scales like Fahrenheit and the absolute Kelvin scale. This guide provides a simple introduction to converting Fahrenheit temperatures to Kelvin.

Overview of Fahrenheit and Kelvin

Fahrenheit and Kelvin are two important temperature scales. Key traits of each include:

Fahrenheit

  • Common scale in United States
  • Freezing point of water at 32°F
  • Boiling point of water at 212°F

Kelvin

  • Absolute temperature scale for science
  • 0 K represents absolute zero (-273.15°C)
  • Freezing point of water at 273.15 K
  • No degree symbol used

Kelvin temperatures are always positive and represent thermal energy from absolute zero. Converting between the scales is common in scientific contexts like physics and chemistry when absolute temperatures are needed in calculations.

Converting Fahrenheit to Kelvin Step-by-Step

Follow this straightforward method to convert any Fahrenheit temperature to Kelvin:

  1. Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature.
  2. Multiply this number by 5/9 to determine Celsius equivalent.
  3. Add 273.15 to Celsius temperature reach Kelvins.

For example:

Fahrenheit temperature = 86°F

  1. 86°F – 32 = 54
  2. 54 * (5/9) = 30°C
  3. 30°C + 273.15 = 303.15 K

So 86 degrees Fahrenheit equals 303.15 Kelvin.

Handy Fahrenheit – Kelvin Conversion Table

Refer to this handy table for some common Fahrenheit temps and their equivalent Kelvin values:

Fahrenheit Kelvin
32°F 273.15 K
68°F 294.26 K
86°F 303.15 K
104°F 313.15 K

Converting Kelvin to Fahrenheit

To convert temperatures from Kelvin to Fahrenheit, reverse the previous steps:

  1. Subtract 273.15 from the Kelvin temp
  2. Multiply result by 9/5
  3. Add 32

Following the example above, converting 303.15 K to Fahrenheit:

  1. 303.15 K – 273.15 = 30°C
  2. 30 * (9/5) = 54
  3. 54 + 32 = 86°F

So 303.15 Kelvin equals 86 degrees Fahrenheit.

Key Takeaways for Fahrenheit to Kelvin Conversions

  • Subtract 32 from the Fahrenheit temperature
  • Multiply this number by 5/9 to get Celsius
  • Add 273.15 to reach Kelvins
  • Use a reference table as a quick shortcut
  • Reverse the process to convert from Kelvin to Fahrenheit

With this easy step-by-step method, converting between Fahrenheit and absolute Kelvin temperatures becomes straightforward.

How to convert Fahrenheit to Kelvin

The temperature T in Kelvin (K) is equal to the temperature T in degrees Fahrenheit (°F) plus 459.67, times 5/9:

T(K) = (T(°F) + 459.67)× 5/9

Fahrenheit to kelvin Formula

K=((℉-32)/1.8)+273.15

Convert Fahrenheit to kelvin Example

Convert 20 degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Kelvin:

T(K) = (20°F + 459.67)× 5/9 = 266.49 K

Convert 60 degrees Fahrenheit to degrees Kelvin:

T(K) = (60°F + 459.67)× 5/9 = 288.71 K
